Hi all!
I'm new to this list and this is my first post! While we are still on
the discussion of standards, would anyone know of a simple risk
assessment methodology that could be employed for small to medium
businesses?
I'm stuck with the problem that its quite expensive to do an extensive
risk assessment for small firms to identify their threats and carry out
pen tests on the basis of those threats. So we have quoted a fixed
number of days based on gut instinct. However, in such a scenario it is
difficult to identify the extent to which one pen-test!
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
Amit

Hi all;
Not to cast any dispersions on anything, but IMHO, the FFIEC guidelines
are pretty
lame. They're OK for "management and operational" type reviews, but
they just don't
cut it for technical work. I'd look to a more solid technical standard,
like
nsa.gov, nist.gov, or OSSTMM Ver. 2. Those are the things that I use
for (almost
exclusively) banks. We've developed custom testing programs using these
as
standards.
